Banish the Blemish: Expert Guide to Getting Rid of Acne

Don’t spend another day feeling defeated by your acne and breakouts. This skincare expert shares her simple tips to banish your blemishes.

Understanding Acne

Acne is the most searched skincare condition online, and anyone who has battled blemishes and breakouts understands the deep impact it can have. We chatted with Linda Sharrem, a Caci Skincare Educator, about what can be done to treat it effectively.

Key Causes of Acne

Acne is not just a teenage problem; it can develop at any stage of life for various reasons. Often, it is a combination of factors that contribute to acne flare-ups. Some common triggers include:

• An imbalance of bacteria
• Dead skin build-up
• Loss of skin homeostasis (when skin is healthy and balanced)
• Lifestyle factors such as poor sleep and fatigue, which can increase cortisol levels

Daily Tips for Healthier Skin

• Clean your phone daily: We touch our phones constantly, potentially spreading bacteria to our faces.
• Clean makeup brushes regularly: Avoid sharing brushes as they can hold a lot of bacteria.
• Keep fabrics in contact with your face clean: This includes workout gear, masks, and helmets.
• Wash your face before and after working out: Prevent makeup and dirt from entering pores and remove sweat afterwards.
• Use fresh face cloths: Decrease the spread of bacteria by using a new cloth each time you wash your face.
• Avoid picking or squeezing scabs: This can spread bacteria and cause scarring. Use a chemical exfoliator instead.
• Rethink your diet: A heart-healthy diet rich in antioxidants and Omega-3 fatty acids can support healthy skin.

What If Nothing Works?

If none of these tips work, consider a comprehensive treatment plan. Caci offers an 8-week Blemish Bootcamp, designed by clinical experts to address blemishes from the outside in and inside out.

Who is the Ideal Blemish Bootcamper?

The Blemish Bootcamp is designed for anyone experiencing blemishes and acne-prone skin. It’s ideal for all ages, although those under 18 require parental consent. The treatments are timed closely together to reduce breakout-causing bacteria and improve skin health.

What Does the Bootcamp Entail?

The 8-week treatment plan includes a combination of skin-correcting treatments, skincare, and supplements to improve blemish-prone skin and reduce acne-causing bacteria.

When Can You Expect Results?

With a change in skincare regimen and treatments, some participants may experience a purging stage. However, this is typically quick as the treatments work to improve skin cell turnover. The aim is to clear current blemishes and reduce ongoing breakouts, followed by a maintenance phase.
